Front panel I/O label windows
— I/O buttons may be labeled by any Brother P-Touch labeler or Extron label software, which ships with every Extron matrix switcher. Each input and output can be labeled with names, alphanumeric characters, or even color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection.

View I/O mode
— Allows user to easily see which individual inputs and outputs are actively connected. Available from the front panel or RS-232 and RS-422 control.

Global presets
— Individual I/O configurations may be saved and recalled either from the QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller or RS-232 and RS-422. This time-saving feature allows you to set up I/O configurations and store them in memory for future use.

RS232 and RS422 control
— The CrossPoint 1616 matrix switchers offer RS-232 and RS-422 control, allowing the switcher to be controlled via a third party control system. Extron's SIS™ (used for RS-232 and RS-422 control) is easy to learn, and use, and allows users to generate characters directly from a keyboard.

Simple Instruction Set (SIS™)
— Extron's SIS is a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple control through a third party control system. Instead of programming in long, obscure strings of code, SIS makes it easy to operate an Extron product using RS-232 and RS-422 control.

Control software
— For RS-232 and RS-422 remote control from a PC, Extron ships our Windows®-based with every matrix switcher. This icon-driven software uses a graphical, drag-and-drop interface to make I/O configuration and other customization functions simple and convenient. This software also offers an emulation mode for configuration of an offsite matrix switcher; the I/O configuration may then be saved for future downloading to the matrix switcher.

MCP 1000 and MKP 1000 control
— Utilizing the MCP 1000 Master Control Panel and any combination of MCP 1000 slave control panels or MKP 1000 control keypads offers the flexibility to control a CrossPoint 1616 matrix switcher from a remote location. Both remote control options are easy to use and provide tactile buttons for quick selection. Each MCP 1000 panel may be used for one-button switching for a particular output and selecting global presets. Each MKP 1000 keypad may be used

Input audio gain and attenuation (adjustable via RS232 and RS422 or front panel)
— The Extron CrossPoint matrix switchers allows users to set the level of audio gain or attenuation (-15dB to +9dB). Individual input audio levels may be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources.

Audio breakaway
— The CrossPoint 1616HVA provides the capability to break away an audio signal from its corresponding video signal. switching can be done via front panel control or RS-232 and RS-422 control.
